    It has nothing to do with the current Administration or even the US. Local pollution is everywhere, globally. Continuous habitat and coastal buffer areas have been disappearing for many decades. I do plenty to address local pollution in my area, so get bent "Rick".

    But it does in reality. The only reason that "global warming" is being "addressed" is because there is a monetary reward in implementing "solutions" (carbon credits). It is not a coincidence that carbon credit schemes were implemented as soon a AGW was identified and became mainstream. There is no such incentive for addressing local pollution. If anything, solving local pollution has a financial disincentive. Global warming isn't going to kill you or your children, but local pollution might.

    Because we are ignoring the real danger in the chase for solving climate change via carbon credit schemes: local pollution. Local pollution is a major problem that we aren't addressing. Our streams and lakes are polluted. Continuous habitat is being lost. These have an immediate effect on us in the short and long term. We are ignoring this and spending time and money on worrying if the sea levels will flood Manhattan. Meanwhile loss of buffer habitat on the coastlines is causing flooding that we see TODAY.
